Abstract

Abstract: The reaction of (E)-cinnamoyl chloride and tris (triphenylphosphine) chlororhodium (I) in equivalent amounts in dichloroethane at 85 “C gives styryltriphenylphosphonium chloride and bis (tripheny1phosphine) chlorocarbonylrhodium in good yields.(E)-2-Butenoyl chloride gives 1-propenyltriphenylphosphonium chloride, and (E)-2-heptenoyl chloride gives a mixture of 1-and 2-hexenyltriphenylphosphonium chlorides. 3-Methyl-2-butenoyl ...
